Generally, a tire should be replaced after being patched 3-5 times. When a tire leaks due to damage, even after being repaired, the damaged area remains the weakest part of the tire. Over time, especially when driving in rainy conditions, water can seep into the damaged area, eventually causing the tire to leak again. Tire Lifespan: The wear lifespan of a tire is approximately 30,000-50,000 kilometers. If the tire hasn't reached the wear limit or mileage but has been in use for 5 years or shows significant sidewall cracking, it should be replaced. Tire Material: Tires are primarily made of rubber. The maximum storage and anti-aging time for rubber, from natural latex to EPDM and nitrile rubber, does not exceed 10 years. The average service life of various rubber products in use is 3-5 years.

How Many Days Will a Car Battery Run Out of Power in Winter?

In winter, a car battery can run out of power in half a month to one month. Introduction to Car Batteries: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The term 'battery' typically refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Classification and Characteristics: The electrodes of a conventional battery are composed of lead and lead oxides, with the electrolyte being an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. Its main advantages are stable voltage and low cost; the disadvantages include low specific energy (the amount of electrical energy stored per kilogram of battery), short service life, and frequent maintenance.

What does AMS mean in a car?

AMS in a car stands for the power management system. Its function is to enable the generator to determine the battery status through a current sensor, adjust the generator's load based on vehicle driving conditions, control battery charging and discharging, improve fuel consumption, and extend the battery's service life. Components of AMS: battery, generator, regulator, charging status indicator, switches, and the electrical system connected by wires. Working principle of AMS: during normal engine operation, the generator supplies power to electrical devices and charges the battery. During startup, the battery supplies power to the starter. The engine drives the generator to rotate via a belt, and as the engine speed changes, the generator's output voltage also changes.
